According to Karylle, The Kitchen Musical will be picked up by Emmy Award-winning producer Ben Silverman, the man behind the American adaptation of drama series, Ugly Betty and The Office. "Hopefully, matuloy yun! And that's a real honor kasi I've worked on this project with CheeK [Singaporean creator and writer of the show] from the very, very beginning, nung pilot pa lang siya, nung idea pa lang siya. To see it go this far, parang ang daming napupuntahan, nakakagulat talaga," she says.

Back in Manila for the Asian tour of The Kitchen Musical, singer-actress-host Karylle reveals to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that initially, she had qualms about how Filipinos would receive the musical TV drama series.

During the tour, fans called her Maddie, her character's name, instead of K or Karylle.

Meanwhile, her co-actor, Christian Bautista, is already quite famous in Indonesia.

Christian, who plays Daniel Ray in The Kitchen Musical, has just launched his international album, Outbound, featuring his various collaborations with artists and producers from Singapore, Japan, and Indonesia.

"Sa Indonesia, I've always been curious about how famous Christian is," Karylle says.
